This term was introduced by John Ruskin, who illustrated it with a quote from a poem by Shenstone in which Jessy is reproached by jasmine flowers. It may be mistaken for a derogatory term, although its name actually derives from the Greek for "suffering." Examples of this include the saying "Nature abhors a vacuum" and a description of an "angry sky." For 10 points, name this form of personification, a "fallacy" in which human emotions are ascribed to inanimate objects.
